Here's the rest of the bits I left out the in the first post. We hopped on the X39 bus heading for Bath and when we got there our stomach was rumbling signaling us that it was time for brunch! So we decide to eat at the nearest place available and surprise surprise! Just around the corner was the ubitiqous Mc Donald so we popped in for a quick bite before heading out for the Roman Bath.





Off with his head!

The bridge which was inspired by the Ponte Vecchio in Italy.

Next up was the Stonehenge but it was rather difficult to get there by public transport so we decided to take a package rolled a trip to Lacock, a small village in Bath and Stonehenge into one. One interesting fact pointed out by the tour guide was that money alone can't buy you a house in Lacock. Priority is given to those with a family history there and some families can trace their roots 500 years back some even further. On another note, the houses there cost half a million upwards and Lacock is also home to various films by the BBC.

A few hours later, the main reason why we were in Bath; Stonehenge! After the initial euphoria wore off at being able to see the Stonhenge up close, I realised that Stonehenge was just a bunch of stones strategically placed with one on top of the other in the middle of nowhere. So much for hype about it being one of the 7 natural wonders of the world although there are various theories regarding how those massive stones were put into place.






Have a nice day!

After Stonehenge we headed back to Bristol where we had a quick bite and after that it was Clifton's Suspension Bridge. While I was busy snapping photos of the bridge, it started pouring with rain. I hadn't expected it to rain especially when it had already been raining or drizzling the whole day I was in Bath. No wonder they say that Britain is almost always wet and gloomy... However the rain was a blessing in disguise as there was a light fog when the rain finally subsided which gave the subsequent pictures an ethereal feel to it.
